Trip report:
Thursday, we decided to do a sightseeing trip up Kane Springs Canyon a ways, and then we turned off on the Chicken Corners Trail.
We stopped near the bottom of the canyon to see a large rock with a lot of petroglyphs on it.
We stopped for a break after we reached the top of the mesa. You can see for miles down Kane Springs Canyon.
The Unimogs gathered at the top of the mesa.
The trail at this point changes from dirt to rock.
We took a break for lunch at an overlook over the river. Several people took turns riding Bob McKuen's Rokon 2-wheel-drive motorcycle.
To the west, the Colorado River carves its way down into the canyons.
The furthest part of the Chicken Corners trail is a foot path. Here, you have to squeeze past these cliffs.
The road has a number of cliff-hangers.
This was the last trail I ran at Mogs at Moab 2000. Some of the Moggers stayed another day or two.
If anyone wants to contribute any more trip reports, please let me know.
